`ProxyMutex` is a recursive mutex. Mostly, `nthread_holding` counts the number of current recursive locks. ``` O$ printf "%x\n" $(( -1024 << 10 )) fffffffffff00000 ``` My best guess is, the point of doing this is to be able to recognize a Thread mutex when `nthread_holding` is examined in the debugger. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
